Defiant Franken, in his Senate floor resignation speech, says was glad women's treatment was overdue to come to light, before it turned to him: "Some of the allegations against me are simply not true. Others I remember differently"

Franken reluctantly says he's resigning "in the coming weeks"… "Nothing" I have done as a Senator was unethical… "ironic" when Trump is on tape bragging of assault and Moore thing happening… "but not about me"…Minn deserves focus

"I, of all people, am aware that there is some irony in the fact that I am leaving while a man who has bragged on tape about his history of sexual assault sits in the Oval Office," Sen. Franken says. "But this decision is not about me." https://t.co/WmT8OdZlN6pic.twitter.com/Qvxx6B1c0O

Franken didn’t apologize for the actions that led to his resignation. Said some of the allegations were false, did not recall the incidents the same way alleged victims did. But said he was compromised by scandal & couldn’t continue as senator

“I have done nothing disgraceful as a Senator. All my disgraceful activities were beforehand, when I was merely an entertainer and pundit at Air America. I shall resign from the Senate just as soon as we all leave for our winter recess so nobody will be around to accept it.”

Today, December 7, 2017 — a date which will live in infamy — Senator Stuart Smalley’s career inched closer to the end after 7 women armed with Twitter accounts bombed his career with accusations of non-consensual groping.

OK, it’s not quite as important as Pearl Harbor being bombed and I’m no FDR, but it will be easy to remember the date Smalley announced his intent to resign.

As we have seen by his corruption of our government and his use of its enforcement arms to persecute American political opponents, America could not have gotten more of an American hitler than little barry, or his planned successor, hillary klinton.

It is an affront to the truth for Franken, the Dems, MSM and NeverTrumpers to constantly repeat the false mantra that Trump admitted to sexual assault. Trump stated what anyone that has watched or read about groupie or celebrity hounding gold diggers, if you are famous or wealthy or even have a fancy car women(some)will consent or even encourage to engaging in various sexual activities beyond first base.

Franken has not resigned nor has he apologized. The best I gathered that he did was to say a while back that he was shocked that this could happen to him. Imagine democrats actually being brought forth to face their transgressions.

The slacker is staying until January, to get another year on his pension. What a fraud. My bet is that he reverses his thought after Roy Moore is seated and says he is staying until Moore resigns. Quite obvious, Frankenstein is not to be trusted. He should have his pension removed.

Now, America has the vile anti-Semite and Islamic supremacist, Keith “Hakim” Ellison, to look forward to as Franken’s reputed replacement. The same worthless, career pol and demagogue who casually stated to an audience, a few years ago, that Israel was allegedly using the U.S. as an “ATM machine,” thus regurgitating despicable anti-Semitic and anti-Israel canards. THIS is the reprobate that the Dumb-o-crats saw fit to promote to a plumb Party leadership position, and, who the Minnesota governor sees fit to appoint to the U.S. Senate.t

While I agree that the trend of people losing their livelihood and/or position for mere accusations is wrong on many levels.

No one is “forcing” Franken to resign, which by the way he hasn’t actually done. If Franken chose to stay in the Senate then there is crap all anyone could do about it other than the Senate itself expelling him and there is no actual chance of that happening. So far this is nothing but theater.

I’m willing to be to bet it plays out like this. In a few weeks or months, after all the furor has died down, Franken will return to the podium to announce that his constituents have been demanding that he stay and do the people’s business, and so he has reluctantly decided he must stay in the congress for the sake of the poor, the downtrodden, and the women he hasn’t assaulted yet.

Don’t you hate it when a drunk states he’s FINALLY leaving (he’s last to leave the party) but instead of actually leaving stands in the open doorway just about forever while freezing cold air and blowing snow get blown into the house?
